So the drug baron of Chicago was in France to set up conduit points for his illicit funds. Seems France is now the new looter banker of the Tinubu regime taking over from Abacha regime's Swiss looters bankers.

Btw, thunder Nsukka fire the mod that will add #TinubuInFrance to this thread.

Francophone countries like Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger are running away from France, but here we are embarrassing the same France that have exploited many French countries in west Africa for decades.

Nigeria's ties with France are in no way similar to those of Niger and Burkina Faso.
The latter are former French colonies.
Bilateral relations between countries is very different from post-colonial influence and resources control by proxy.
Btw, banks are important to a nation's economy but still are private businesses.
Zenith and Access banks beginning operations in France have no economic impact on Nigeria.
Taxes from their operations will accrue to France and not Nigeria.

To be honest I'm suspecting something positive is about to happen in this country I'm not talking about this one I'm talking from general overview.

Bit by bit Tinubu is pushing deeper into the global stage promoting Nigerians but one thing I'm sure of is some people won't be happy because nothing in life gives them joy than bad news.

I like France because when it comes to economics, don't count France out. They have a special security outfit that only does economics espionage.


Igbos, we can learn a thing or two from France and Britain.


On another news,
may God continue to bless Grest Finland.
Great Finland has a place in Africa with the Great Igbo tribe. We celebrate Finland.
And also the great state of Israel, and USA the great. God bless you all.

Re: Nigeria, France Sign Agreements As Zenith Bank Commences France Operation by SeriouslySense(m):
[b]Until the late 1870s, the colonies were robbed on the basis of non-equivalent exchange. By buying up the produce of African peasants for nothing, the colonisers set prices for food and manufactured goods imported into Africa that were several times higher than in the metropolis. By the end of the 19th century, the colonies had come to be regarded as one of the main areas to apply capital to. The invasion of European monopolies into the economic life of African countries was carried out through two channels - by subjugating the local small-scale commodity economy and by exploiting mineral resources. The means of both economic and extra-economic coercion were used to force peasants to grow export crops for the needs of the metropolis or the world market. On the eve of World War II, between 67 and 98 percent of the value of all exports from most colonies came from a single crop. In the Gambia and Senegal, for example, it was groundnuts, in Zanzibar it was cloves, in Uganda it was cotton, in the Gold Coast it was cocoa, and in Southern Rhodesia it was tobacco. In Gabon and some other countries, valuable timber species became monocultures.[/b]

grin
The modern political map of Africa, with its clear borders of the continent’s states, was formed as a result of the colonial partition of its main part between European powers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The partition was carried out disregarding the peculiarities of the political and cultural space of pre-colonial Africa. The delimitation of borders was made by European politicians as if these borders - not only political borders, but also the borders of the areas inhabited by individual peoples - did not exist at all. A quick glance at the political map of the continent is enough to see the geometric outlines of the demarcation of many borders: 44 per cent of them run along meridians and parallels, 30 per cent - along natural and geographical boundaries - rivers, lakes and desert edges. Marking the sovereignty of a state over a certain territory, these boundaries cut across 177 cultural areas of Africa.
cheesy
Colonial powers limited the growth of local African businesses. Foreigners owned or controlled key industries like mining, banks, trade, and plantations. Colonial governments discouraged African entrepreneurship, fearing competition. While some local businesses thrived in North Africa, in most of sub-Saharan Africa, Africans could only run small businesses. This exploitation caused economic underdevelopment and many current problems in Africa. Colonizers took resources and wealth from African colonies to benefit their own countries, often at the expense of African lives and well-being, presenting this exploitation as "natural."#

grin grin
The mechanisms of seizure varied widely, but in the end they boiled down mainly to the fundamental principle of systemic underpayment (and often non-payment) to colonial peoples for the material resources and labour taken from them in favour of the metropolis. However, in addition to this inbuilt mechanism of robbery, there was also a direct imposition of taxes and payments to the empire’s treasury. Moreover, the share of such direct withdrawal of funds in relation to the total GDP of the colonies was steadily increasing. For example, in 1925, various fiscal levies to the state treasury amounted to 9 percent of the total GDP of all colonies, protectorates and trust territories in the French colonial empire, whereas in 1955 this figure stood already at 16 percent. At the same time, the civil irrevocable budgetary allocations to the colonies in the 1950s amounted to only 2.7 percent of the total GDP of France’s overseas possessions.

cheesy cheesy sneaky too
For example, France is home to the historical and cultural heritage of 30 African states, including exhibits smuggled not only from French colonies, but also from countries that did not belong to colonies, such as Ethiopia, Ghana, Nigeria and the present-day Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The main reason for the failure of most attempts by African countries to recover stolen property is that, due to the endeavours of former metropolises, the current international legal framework governing the status of cultural property does not create the legislative conditions for this. The rules of international law governing the circulation of cultural property are a clear indication that the “rules-based order” promoted by the West has a pronounced neo-colonial character. For example, all the exhibits of the Louvre and other French museums on the register of state property are subject to the principles of inalienability of artefacts under the rules of the Heritage Code, which are usually invoked by French officials to deny African countries the return of their cultural property.

undecided undecided
The system of informal tutelage over its former colonies, called Françafrique, established by Paris in the early 1960s, effectively made African countries economically, politically and militarily dependent on France. The mechanism of French domination was based on bribing African leaders, using direct military presence, sending mercenaries and training post-colonial elites in the universities of the former metropolis. The aim of this policy was to gain full control over the political and economic processes in the “subject” states.

Currently, the Françafrique system is in acute crisis as an increasing number of Francophone countries on the continent prefer to diversify their security partners rejecting traditional military assistance from Paris, burdened by unfair economic conditions and marred by high collateral damage to civilians.


grin grin grin Oya go and be parter's with dubious people, and learn some lessons grin grin grin grin grin
I will not cry or shed any tears when france does it thing to this new Africans, theirs is just starting grin grin grin, While other AFricans have escaped, cheesy cheesy cheesy

Paris has the dubious honour of illegally retaining part of its former colonial possessions in Africa. We are talking about the island of Mayotte and the Scattered Islands, over which France exercises de facto control, even though their state ownership by African states (the Comoros and Madagascar) has been repeatedly confirmed by UNGA resolutions.
